Normally i have no problem with people, but i don't like papaya salad.

Strange you should mention that, but I did a 'food tour' in Vietnam last weekend and the papaya salad (no chilli of fish sauce)  with dried and fresh beef and peanut topping was rather good.

- AirBnb-I really have no opinion, I dont use it.

 

- Digital nomads-Depends. If they act like regular guys, they are cool. If they act like entitled, know it all, SJW smarmy arrogant ecofascistic leftyloon, then of course I dont like them

 

- Transferwise-use it all the time. Dont care that it doesnt mark International transfers. I love their debit card

 

- Twitter-if the world is in fact infested with as*ho*es, most of them are on Twitter. Im one that isnt.

 

- Facebook-my 8000 plus followers demand I keep them posted

 

- Back packers-technically I am one, but I am one with money. I prefer Osprey Packs myself, I have 3.

 

- Anyone under 50 who cannot get a retirement visa-sucks to be them.

 

- Tourists who are financially independent and enjoy spending extended periods of time visiting Thailand-its great to be me!

 

- Anyone who tries to make contingency plans for the future-what do I care what anyone else does, except to comment on the internet ????

Horrible, just horrible, i'd probably starve for 3 or 4 days before eating dead animals.

But whatever you like, it's ok for me ????

Don't you think it's kind of barbaric to eat animals while they are still alive? :dry::whistling:

Yes, absolutely barbaric, perhaps i should reassure the gentlemen here.. Should i need to eat some animal, i'd kill it first ????

Have I forgotten any?

The cost of electricity and the costs involved running AC?

Always seem to be a lot of complaints about the cost of staying cool in one of the hottest places on earth, reckon theirs a lot of sweaty buggers on this forum! :w00t:

Did anyone mention exchange rates? :omfg:

There is a lot of dead insects in plant food. A lot of them including small animals die from pesticide and machinery. Maybe they don't count because they are not cute animals? ????

Nor does it matter that transactions are not marked 'international'. I've proved it.

I remember I read an article about vegetarians some time ago.

Scientist checked if vegetarians (or was it vegans?) have deficit of certain vitamins, minerals, etc.

In the UK the scientist found that they had deficits.

In India scientist did not find any deficits.

Their conclusion was that the vegetables in India contained enough insects. UK vegetables were "too" clean, no insects which caused some deficits...

I would be careful about this kind of research made in India...

That's quite possible.

Btw, i admit that a vegetarian diet have most likely some deficits, i know that from experience.

Lately i'm trying to be very careful, but then i mostly eat at home...When i am travelling it's almost impossible to get the proper proteins and vitamins.

Constant changing of the old fun Great times of the Wild West of the East Thailand. Just isn't what it used to be.

Not feeling welcomed anymore.

Racism to a point. 

Newbie or Expat know-it-alls.
